144 Special:Recentchangeslinked for particular categories

the Special:Recentchangeslinked page is very useful, but it will become
optimally useful if we can use it over a Category
You could see all the recent changes over the pages included in the category

Sorry about the wong link (before)!
- the starting colon was generating a "Bad title"
- space(s) in the "anchor" must be replaced with underschores

Patch to allow related changes on categories.

This patch is very simple.  If the page is in the category namespace, instead
of showing related changes for pages the page links to, it shows related
changes for pages that link to that page.  It does not also show related
changes for pages linked to from the category.

Will this go into CVS HEAD now ?

Dan, 

I am unsure, if this patch really works. I have applied it to MediaWiki 1.3.7
(and adapted the FROM ...  in the select to the old statment layout), but it
does not give the wanted results.

Also when applied to CVS 1.4 it does not work, as the Category pages lack the
link "related changes" - instead a toolbox is shown. 

Dan, please can you repair this, too ?

As it's not a security feature, I assume it won't be accepted before 1.4 anyway.

I composed and tested it on a fresh install from CVS.  Special:Version calls my
local version "1.4-prealpha".  

"Related Changes" is in the toolbox for pages in the category namespace on my
CVS install.  Are there plans to remove this?

Patch to allow related changes on all categories, ghost or otherwise

This is another version of the related changes patch.  This version uses the
categorylinks table instead of the links table.  It's probably a tad slower,
but you can see related changes on categories that have never been saved.  It
can be backported to 1.3, unlike the first patch.

Final version: this time, use getDBKey() instead of partialURL()

Final version, I promise.  This time, use getDBKey() instead of partialURL(). 
Now works for all legal categories.

This patch is great, i like it.  I am using the mw1.3.7/1.3.8 version. 

You probably need to adjust the $days default value on your private wiki in
SpecialRelatedchanges.php to get a chance for the last recent changes of all
pages listed. For example, I have increased this value from 7 to 365.

Note: don't use the posted patch as is on a public server, as it contains an
SQL injection vulnerability.

I'll go ahead and merge a fixed version.

Yes, please (soon, if possible). This patch is really great and useful.
